Matt Hyland |
There was a lord, lived in this town |
Who had a handsome, lovely daughter |
She was courted by a fair young man |
Who was a servant to her father |
But when her parents they came to know |
They swore they’d send him from the island |
The maid she knew her heart would break |
Had she to part with young Matt Hyland |
Then straightway unto her love she goes |
Into his room him to awaken |
Saying, arise my love, and go away |
This very night you will be taken |
I overheard my parents say |
In spite of me he will transport you |
So arise, my love, and go away |
I wish to God I’d gone before you |
Oh must I go, to her he said |
Oh must I go without my wages |
Without one penny allin my purse |
Just like some poor, forlorn stranger |
Here’s fifty guineas all in bright gold |
And that’s far more than father owes you |
So take it now and go away |
I wish to God I’d gone before you |
They both sat down upon the bed |
Just for the side of one half hour |
Not a word did either speak |
But down their cheeks the tears did shower |
She rests her head upon his breast |
And round his neck her arms entwined |
Not duke nor lord, nor earl I’ll wed |
I’ll wait for thee my own Matt Hyland |
I’ll wait for thee my own Matt Hyland |
I’ll wait for thee my own Matt Hyland |
